Joe: You should! It’s going to be a fun one!
You: What’s going to be so fun about tonight?
Joe: Oh man. I’ll tell you. But I am going to do so in the context of a formula.
You: Okay. Hey didn’t you go to a Math Science Magnet High School?
Joe: Yes. But this is a fake formula. I learned how to make fake formulas from myself on my childhood swing set in my backyard.
You: Ok, carry on.
